On this segment of HarperAudio!,

Sir John Gielgud reads the sonnets of William Shakespeare. These sonnets
were probably composed between 1593 and 1601, but were not published
until 1609. Some of the poems are addressed to a young friend, who may
have been the Earl of Southampton. Others praise the beauty of a
mysterious "dark lady" who has not been identified. This reading is
accompanied by music performed by the Elizabethan Consort of Viols and
the Taylor Consort of Recorders, Leslie Pearson, Conductor.
